"I have always been very interested in the Maxxyz consoles and had some hands on with the full size Maxxyz a few years back at Daystar television network. I loved how the console programmed and ran," stated Cory Fournier of Dallas, Texas, who at only 19 was hired as the tour's lighting director and also handled programming and lighting op duties on the tour.
Fournier LDed for the band during the summer of 2009 and came across many of the industry's top lighting consoles on that tour including Martin's Maxxyz Compact.
"I used them all and they did the job just fine but the Maxxyz stood out the most," he said. "We had been planning for the fall tour and I decided to use it on that. I just loved how the software operated, how reliable it felt and the layout of the console."
